Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland and developer Squanch Games has delayed the release date of their upcoming game High on Life to get a little extra time to “squash some bugs”. Previously scheduled to hit Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on October 25, the good news is the game will still be released this year.
When will High on Life be released?
High on Life will now be released on December 13, 2022, and will still launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one, although that day one is now around 6 weeks later than it was previously. As part of the apology, they released the completely unrelated animation about a 500-pound, diaper-wearing alien as compensation, and this can be seen above. The full statement can be seen below:
“We have good news and bad news. Feel free to choose the option you’d prefer to read first; we won’t meddle with your free will.
THE GOOD NEWS: High on Life is still coming in 2022! The team at Squanch Games is working hard towards developing the best gaming experience to hit your screens, and a little extra time to squash some bugs never hurts. With that in mind, our new launch date is set to December 13, 2022.
THE BAD NEWS: It’s a game delay, sorry! Because we’re making you wait an additional 6-ish weeks, please accept the linked animation as an apology.
High on Life will be available via Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PCs, Day One on Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and through Xbox Cloud Gaming. Thank you for your continued patience and support!”
In other news, Devolver Digital denies they were paid by Sony to block Cult of the Lamb from coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one. Elsewhere, the Dungeons & Dragons 6th Edition playtest has been labelled “One D&D“.
